    No indications of another DA-65 rerun.

    Ok good to know. I already have the original VMAX and obviously don't want to spend more money on a 2nd one just to get these upgrades lol.

    I didn’t mean to start something about extra parts. We all enjoy these sets in our own way. I know Diaclone is meant to be crazy compatible with itself, but I prefer to keep the sets (and ones they specifically go with) together. The less extra parts for me, the better. I usually put something I’m not using back in the package (the few series that I keep all the boxes).

    Sweet!

    I wish I hadn’t skipped ordering that set. By the time I decided I really wanted a one, it was sold out everywhere. Maybe one of the vendors will have a few extra and I’ll be able to snag one. Here’s hoping!

    Hmm I haven't gotten an email yet either. Hopefully they don't punish me for a couple small cancelled pre orders recently.

    This looks fantastic.

    Can you post some more images showing the depth? It looks like it's modular? Very nice.

    I'm starting to outgrow my storage... I have like 20 fishing tackle boxes and they used to be perfectly set up but with the growing lines and the move away from the suits having raid chambers that store everything neatly it's getting out of control. I used to have neat sections for Waruder that were specific to this joint or this part but now they're sharing since there's so many different types of bits... OCD starting to set in!

    For the larger bits, the mech bodies, BC Trailer etc. I just have a big storage crate. I don't like that they can rub together and are effectively sitting on top of each other (luckily the toys don't weigh too much). I've seen others doing the same but bagging each component to keep the toys together and prevent sets from rubbing - I might try that as having the sets in one bag will also prevent my kids doing the dreaded "LEGO swish" digging around the crate searching for that Big Powered arm that's hidden somewhere!

    I can't wait until someone gets laser-cut pelican cases for each set lol.

    At this point I'm almost thankful for how slow BBTS is. If they weren't, way too many expensive figures would be coming in all at once right now for me.

    Guys, i need an advice that is only partially related to diaclone, so i hope i could ask here.
    Ok, so, i have to add some effects like laser beams and balloons (with text) to some photos i'm planning to shoot (most of which are of my diaclone figures). Can anyone suggest me a good (free) editing app for android via PM?

    Google "Versastack"(like triverse) for more compatible options
    This version and one with slightly less depth are stackable and clip together securely. I was thinking of using microfiber or parchment inside my compartments to prevent rubbing. I need to pick up a couple more of these for my battle buffalos and GV. I like how they provide good protection for the components while inside the case and allow my to remove individual trays.

    I wonder if someone has put together a good source of photoshop tutorials in this same regard.
